+# Standalone Float32 Training Script for 16-bit TIFFs
+
+## Overview
+
+This standalone script (`train_float32_standalone.py`) trains YOLO models on 16-bit grayscale TIFF datasets with **no data loss**.
+
+- Loads 16-bit TIFFs with `tifffile` (not PIL/cv2)
+- Converts to float32 [0-1] on-the-fly (preserves full 16-bit precision)
+- Replicates grayscale → 3-channel RGB in memory
+- **No disk caching required**
+- Uses custom PyTorch Dataset + training loop
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Train on your 16-bit TIFF dataset
+python scripts/train_float32_standalone.py \
+    --data data/my_dataset/data.yaml \
+    --weights yolov8s-seg.pt \
+    --epochs 100 \
+    --batch 16 \
+    --imgsz 640 \
+    --lr 0.0001 \
+    --save-dir runs/my_training \
+    --device cuda
+```
+
+## Arguments
+
+| Argument | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `--data` | Yes | - | Path to YOLO data.yaml file |
+| `--weights` | No | yolov8s-seg.pt | Pretrained model weights |
+| `--epochs` | No | 100 | Number of training epochs |
+| `--batch` | No | 16 | Batch size |
+| `--imgsz` | No | 640 | Input image size |
+| `--lr` | No | 0.0001 | Learning rate |
+| `--save-dir` | No | runs/train | Directory to save checkpoints |
+| `--device` | No | cuda/cpu | Training device (auto-detected) |
+
+## Dataset Format
+
+Your data.yaml should follow standard YOLO format:
+
+```yaml
+path: /path/to/dataset
+train: train/images
+val: val/images
+test: test/images  # optional
+
+names:
+  0: class1
+  1: class2
+
+nc: 2
+```
+
+Directory structure:
+```
+dataset/
+├── train/
+│   ├── images/
+│   │   ├── img1.tif  (16-bit grayscale TIFF)
+│   │   └── img2.tif
+│   └── labels/
+│       ├── img1.txt  (YOLO format)
+│       └── img2.txt
+├── val/
+│   ├── images/
+│   └── labels/
+└── data.yaml
+```
+
+## Output
+
+The script saves:
+- `epoch{N}.pt`: Checkpoint after each epoch
+- `best.pt`: Best model weights (lowest loss)
+- Training logs to console
+
+## Features
+
+✅ **16-bit precision preserved**: Float32 [0-1] maintains full dynamic range  
+✅ **No disk caching**: Conversion happens in memory  
+✅ **No PIL/cv2**: Direct tifffile loading  
+✅ **Variable-length labels**: Handles segmentation polygons  
+✅ **Checkpoint saving**: Resume training if interrupted  
+✅ **Best model tracking**: Automatically saves best weights  
+
+## Example
+
+Train a segmentation model on microscopy data:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/train_float32_standalone.py \
+    --data data/microscopy/data.yaml \
+    --weights yolov11s-seg.pt \
+    --epochs 150 \
+    --batch 8 \
+    --imgsz 1024 \
+    --lr 0.0003 \
+    --save-dir data/models/microscopy_v1
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Out of Memory (OOM)
+Reduce batch size:
+```bash
+--batch 4
+```
+
+### Slow Loading
+Reduce num_workers (edit script line 208):
+```python
+num_workers=2  # instead of 4
+```
+
+### Different Image Sizes
+The script expects all images to have the same dimensions. For variable sizes:
+1. Implement letterbox/resize in dataset's `_read_image()`
+2. Or preprocess images to same size
+
+### Loss Computation Errors
+If you see "Cannot determine loss", the script may need adjustment for your Ultralytics version. Check:
+```python
+# In train() function, the preds format may vary
+# Current script assumes: preds is tuple with loss OR dict with 'loss' key
+```
+
+## vs GUI Training
+
+| Feature | Standalone Script | GUI Training Tab |
+|---------|------------------|------------------|
+| Float32 conversion | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes (automatic) |
+| Disk caching | ✗ None | ✗ None |
+| Progress UI | ✗ Console only | ✓ Visual progress bar |
+| Dataset selection | Manual CLI args | ✓ GUI browsing |
+| Multi-stage training | Manual runs | ✓ Built-in |
+| Use case | Advanced users | General users |
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Data Loading Pipeline
+
+```
+16-bit TIFF file
+    ↓ (tifffile.imread)
+uint16 [0-65535]
+    ↓ (/ 65535.0)
+float32 [0-1]
+    ↓ (replicate channels)
+float32 RGB (H,W,3) [0-1]
+    ↓ (permute to C,H,W)
+torch.Tensor (3,H,W) float32
+    ↓ (DataLoader stack)
+Batch (B,3,H,W) float32
+    ↓
+YOLO Model
+```
+
+### Precision Comparison
+
+| Method | Unique Values | Data Loss |
+|--------|---------------|-----------|
+| **float32 [0-1]** | ~65,536 | None ✓ |
+| uint16 RGB | 65,536 | None ✓ |
+| uint8 | 256 | 99.6% ✗ |
+
+Example: Pixel value 32,768 (middle intensity)
+- Float32: 32768 / 65535.0 = 0.50000763 (exact)
+- uint8: 32768 → 128 → many values collapse!
